Last year, former North Carolina governor Mike Easley disappeared from the attorney roster of McGuireWoods and took an Alford plea after being accused of violating campaign-finance reporting law.

His law license was temporarily suspended in December 2010 after his criminal conviction on a single felony count, and now the state bar has filed a disciplinary case against him, WRAL’s @NCCapitol blog reports.

The complaint, which was filed today, seeks sanctions for what the bar complaint calls “conviction of a criminal offense showing professional unfitness,” according to the station.
